Novel High-Throughput Fluorescence-Based Assay for the Identification of Nematocidal Compounds That Target the Blood-Feeding Pathway

Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Anthony Marchand, Nicola Harris, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Mati André Marie Moyat

Hookworm infections cause a neglected tropical disease (NTD) affecting ~740 million people worldwide, principally those living in disadvantaged communities. Infections can cause high morbidity due to their impact on nutrient uptake and their need to feed o ...

Influence of Oxidative Stress on Time-Resolved Oxygen Detection by [Ru(Phen)3]2+ In Vivo and In Vitro

Georges Wagnières, Veronika Huntosova

Detection of tissue and cell oxygenation is of high importance in fundamental biological and in many medical applications, particularly for monitoring dysfunction in the early stages of cancer. Measurements of the luminescence lifetimes of molecular probes ...

Analysis of the lightning production of convective cells

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jacopo Grazioli, Nikola Besic, Urs Martin Germann

This paper presents an analysis of the lightningproduction of convective cells. The cells were detected by the MeteoSwiss Thunderstorms Radar Tracking (TRT) algorithm in the course of a lightning measurement campaign thattook place in the summer of 2017 in ...

Miniaturized single-cell analyses for biomedical applications

Loïc Arvind Roger Arm

Numerous diseases affecting living beings have as a cause a modification of gene expression resulting in anomalous expression of proteins in up- or down-regulated fashion, with altered functions or expression of proteins that are not present in the cell in ...

Automated tracking of temporal displacements of a red blood cell obtained by time-lapse digital holographic microscopy

Benjamin Rappaz

Red blood cell (RBC) phase images that are numerically reconstructed by digital holographic microscopy (DHM) can describe the cell structure and dynamics information beneficial for a quantitative analysis of RBCs. However, RBCs investigated with time-lapse ...

Flow simulation and hemolysis modeling for a blood centrifuge device

Mark Sawley, Michel Deville, Patric Hagmann

A common blood separation technique is to accelerate the sedimentation of blood constituents by centrifugation and then collect these constituents separately. When subjected to conditions of excessive stress, hemolysis can however occur, whereby the membra ...

Early Cell Death Detection with Digital Holographic Microscopy

Pierre Magistretti, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Nicolas Pavillon, Pascal Jourdain, Corinne Moratal

Background: Digital holography provides a non-invasive measurement of the quantitative phase shifts induced by cells in culture, which can be related to cell volume changes. It has been shown previously that regulation of cell volume, in particular as it r ...

Efficient and stable panchromatic squaraine dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Sanghyun Paek

A new series of stable, unsymmetrical squaraine near-IR sensitizers (JK-216 and JK-217), which are assembled using both thiophenyl pyrrolyl and indolium groups, exhibit a panchromatic light harvesting up to 780 nm. The JK-216 based cell exhibited a record ...

Full-Field Laser-Doppler Imaging and Its Physiological Significance for Tissue Blood Perfusion

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Using Monte Carlo simulations for a semi-infinite medium representing a skeletal muscle tissue, it is demonstrated that the zero- and first-order moments of the power spectrum for a representative pixel of a full-field laser-Doppler imager behave different ...

The stream of precursors that colonizes the thymus proceeds selectively through the early T lineage precursor stage of T cell development

Freddy Radtke

T cell development in the thymus depends on continuous colonization by hematopoietic precursors. Several distinct T cell precursors have been identified, but whether one or several independent precursor cell types maintain thymopoiesis is unclear. We have ...
